The first season of SMC was also updated to modern times. Usagi has a laptop, if I remember correctly. Also the thing about video cassettes that brainwash people was upgraded to DVDs. So yeah, I guess modernity took priority over being 100% faithful to the manga. (Not like they didn't change other things, though.)
I actually haven't seen the new episode yet. If anything I'm a bit disappointed with the inconsistency in approach. You said the transformation sequences aren't CGI this time. Then there's the character design. The strange thing is that, from what I've seen, I like the new designs more. Why couldn't they have done all that stuff in the original SMC? Reboot the reboot! Still, the inconsistencies aren't enough to keep me from watching the show. The amount of anime that I'm already watching is, though.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!

Well, I'm just going to try and keep watching season three as it comes out because they're covering my favorite story arc from the manga.
The greatest fear is that of the unknown.
